Hawkins Mikita was excited to help host an informative salon so that LA residents can learn more about and support Cyndi Lauper's True Colors Fund, which works to end homelessness among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth, creating a world in which young people can be their true selves.

Together with an engaging host committee and the LA True Colors Fund Steering Committee members, the True Colors Fund brought together over 100 supporters for an evening at Palihouse West Hollywood.

True Fellow Angel VanStark shared his story of experiencing youth homelessness and how the True Colors Fund has helped him become an advocate to support those effected by and end youth homelessness in the LGBT community.
